Abstract

This chapter focuses on control measures for airborne nanoparticles in work environments. It discusses the hierarchy of control measures and ways to prioritize control options within that hierarchy. The suitability of different types of control measures for reducing nanoparticle exposures is considered. In particular, the ability of filters to capture airborne nanoparticles is reviewed.
